Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal Against Conviction and Sentence

  1. 1 Whether trial judge improperly relied on papers (P11(1)-(5)) containing other victims' data as uncharged misconduct evidence
  2. 2 Whether the trial judge was arbitrary in accepting PW1's evidence despite inconsistencies
  3. 3 Whether the rejection of defence evidence was unreasonable

Ratio Decidendi

The application for leave to appeal was refused because the appellate court found no error of law or principle in the trial judge's assessment: the trial judge did not rely solely on P11(1)-(5), properly evaluated PW1's credibility and the implausibility of the defence, and the aggregate five‑year sentence (with partial concurrency) was not manifestly excessive.
